PAINr COMPOUND.

No Drawing.

Specification of Letters latent.

Patented May 16, 1911.

Application filed December 18, 1908. Serial No. 468,137.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE F. Sar'rrn, a citizen of. the United States, residing. at Covington, in the county of Alleghany and State of Virginia, have invented new and useful Improvements in Paint Compounds, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to an improved paint compound for use in painting metallic and other surfaces.

The improved paint consists of asphaltum (of commerce) and 'cylnene oila sulfite pulp residue of the terpene class, differing produced, very. brilliant and exceedingly durable.

Owing to the fact that the cymene oil is less volatile than turpentine and the other solvents commonly used, less danger in keepingthe compound in storage results, and the compound may be kept for a much longer period of time without deterioration from v the evaporation of the solvent. Furthermore, the highly adhesive quality of the cymene oil makes the paint compound much more tenaeiousthan asphalt paints made with any of the ordinary solvents. I

Having thus described my invention, I claim A paint compound comprism-g asphaltum and crude cyniene oil.

In testimony whereof I afiix my signature in presence of two Witnesses.

GEORGE F. SMITH.
